a mother's prayer
Morning, noon and night
God give me strength
to guide my children
through life's daily struggles...
to feed them well...
to teach them right from wrong...
to be economical
to laugh with people
not at them...
to know when to be strong
and when to be gentle...
to know when to rest...
to always be careful...
and, above all
to love myself
nature
and one another.
